Hmm. At least this does'nt seem like something that the xip
infrastructure should be concerned with: it will ask for
get_xip_page() [or get_xip_pfn()], and return temporary references via
put_xip_page/pfn(). The mtd layer has to decide when to pospone
get_xip_page() calls and when to ask for references being returned. On
the other hand, I think we should make sure get_xip_page() targets may
call schedule() in case the page we ask for is currently unavailable
while an erase operation is in progress.
